Our Hospital Volunteers

At the North Lobby Desk…

At the North Lobby Desk, the senior volunteers greet incoming patients and visitors and direct them to their destination.

The Volunteers in the Patient Area…

The Volunteers in the Patient Area assist the nurses, patients, and families in any way possible. They take care of flowers, deliver mail, run errands, and transport patients.

The Gift Shop…

The Gift Shop is operated as a service for visitors, patients, and hospital employees. Gifts for patients, snacks and beautiful handmade items are sold. Proceeds are used for scholarships and hospital equipment.

Volunteer members are asked to give sixty hours per year in volunteer time. Most members give a lot more because of the enjoyment and fellowship. Cheerful, caring help is needed in all areas. Enrich your life with new experiences and new friends. We invite you to be a part of our team that is working to “make our hospital the very best it can be.”

For more information, call the Hospital at 961-1234 and leave a message at extension 291.

Mendocino Coast District Hospital CEO Wayne Allen chats with volunteers during one of two lunches held to honor the hospital’s 230 volunteers. Allen and other managers served the lunches and handed out raffle prizes. “Our 240 volunteers contributed more than 30,000 hours of time with a value of nearly $600,000,” Allen said. Volunteers groups include the Auxiliary, Hospice, Hospice Thift Store, Sunshine Team, No one Dies Alone Program, pet therapy and chaplains.
